GLENVIEW, Ill., May 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly a dozen
staff members from Combined Insurance, a leading provider of
individual supplemental accident, disability, health, and life
insurance products, and a Chubb company, visited the Hines Fisher
House in Hines, IL last week to
volunteer their time. The team performed gardening duties and
planted new flowers to help beautify the grounds, which serve as a
'home away from home' for family members, caregivers or loved ones
of patients who are receiving medical care at the Edward Hines Jr.
VA Hospital.
"Supporting the military community and its veterans is a
passion of Combined Insurance," says Melanie Lundberg, Assistant Vice President,
Talent Management and Corporate Communications at Combined
Insurance. "As the number one Military Friendly Employer in the
country,* we seek out opportunities where we can actively
contribute to organizations that are dedicated to helping our
nation's military and their families. Thousands of military
families benefit from the Fisher House every year, and we are proud
to continue to support such a worthwhile organization."
Founded in 1990 by Zachary and Elizabeth
Fisher, The Fisher House Foundation provides temporary
residence for the families and loved ones of wounded military and
veterans who receive treatment at VA medical centers. There are
currently 70 Fisher Houses across the country where these families
can stay at no cost to them. The Hines Fisher House opened its
doors on March 1, 2010, and over the
past six years has provided accommodations for more than 5,300
guests.
"We are very fortunate that the community has embraced our home,
and continually donates both money and time to help with its
upkeep. But, in order to provide the level of service that we need
to for our military families, it is important that organizations
like Combined Insurance continue to step up and contribute, whether
it's through volunteering their time, financial donations or
in-kind support. We want the Fisher House to be a 'home away from
home' for our residents, and having a beautiful landscape and
garden is a big part of that," says Holly
Wright, Manager, Hines Fisher House.
Combined Insurance gives back to many military and
veteran-focused organizations. In addition to the Fisher House
Foundation, Combined Insurance has provided support for the Jason
McKie Foundation, Luke's Wings, Snowball Express, the USO, and the
Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation.
Named the number one Military Friendly® Employer by G.I. Jobs magazine for the last two years,
Combined Insurance has hired more than 2,500 military veterans and
those with a military background since launching its veteran
recruiting program in 2010. The supplemental insurance provider is
committed to hiring 2,800 more military veterans by the end of
2017.
*As named by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs magazine.
